Attention all Evil Ernie fans. Heck, attention all comic book fans. As you might be aware and should be aware, Evil Ernie is coming back to comics. Next week, on October 10, Dynamite Entertainment will release the first issue written by Jesse Blaze Snider. If you're curious what Jesse has planned, you can check out the interview we did with him back in August.

What we want to do is offer you the chance of winning the first issue. But we're going to go beyond just giving away the first issue. We will have four winners this time around.

(1) Grand Prize: A complete set of 1st print #1s and #1 incentives.

(3) Runner Up: A complete set of #1s (4 regular covers)

To spice it up even more, Jesse himself will be signing the comics.

How can you enter?

Jesse and I want to know what you think would be the perfect band t-shirt for Ernie and why it would be perfect. You may be aware that Ernie was a bit of a metalhead. That doesn't mean you have to choose a metal band shirt for him. You can choose from any genre but be sure to explain why you feel that would be best for him.

WARNING: MEGADETH is too obvious an answer and will be automatically counted out! We're looking for creative and insightful band, album and/or song choices that actually say something more about Ernie than what his ultimate goals in a comic book might be.

Its not flashy, its not bright, its just Sabbath, Short Sweet and to the point. Its classic and while it isn't bright so as to stand out be recognized immediately when you first turn the page, its a lingering effect, like a "oh i just noticed he is wearing a sabbath shirt, thats pretty cool" and it stays with you in the back of your head while taking nothing out of the rest of the goings on in the story. where if he was wearing a Bright colorful shirt that may stick in the front of your brain pushing the story out. the shirt is subtle, yet effective.

I would go with the band In This Moment. Got to throw in something new and modern for the current generation of readers who maybe don't listen to old school punk/metal.

They are heavy and loud with a good looking female lead singer that I think Ernie would dig. Even if he doesn't seek Megadeath for Lady Death, I'd like to think he does it for some one similar. Plus the song "Iron Army" would fit perfectly with his new origin!

Iron Maiden is perfect for Evil Ernie because that band practically typifies the heavy metal band genre. I think it goes without saying that Evil Ernie would be an Iron Maiden fan and therefore I think he would be delighted to have this emblazoned on a black shirt to wear about.

And on top of that, come on...Evil Ernie practically looks like Eddie the Head's sibling!

Iced Earth would work well. They do quite a bit of concept albums from horror monsters to the coming of the anti-christ, and even has a tie in to comics with their Dark Saga album's theme being Spawn related.

Black Sabbath. most definitely.I think that their music is timeless,respected,and Metal at its finest.Not to mention some evil shit! ahahahaha. So many of Black Sabbaths songs can relate to Evil Ernie------Electric Funeral?Never Say Die?Evil Woman(lady death fits that description nicely)? I'd imagine the Devil would be a fan of the group,so when Evil Ernie catches up to Satan- they would have something to talk about,an Ice breaker perhaps...lol thats my opinion!

I think Evil Ernie should be wearing a t-shirt by Hammerfall a Swedish Power Metal Band. They are intense with powerful lyrics as in Eternal Dark and commanding graphics in their art, both which represent what Evil Ernie is about.

Metal is awesome, but metal t-shirts have become incredibly mainstream. They don't strike fear into the hearts of men and women quite the way they used to. Evil Ernie must embrace satire in this new age of entertainment, and wear a J-Pop T-shirt. This Kyary Pamyu Pamyu ice cream cone t-shirt still has an edge to it, but it has lots of pinks and baby blues that lesser men than Ernie would be afraid to try an pull off. It's the visual equivalent to wearing a tutu, and what does that say to one's enemies? "That guys bat$h!t crazy!"

Alright, lets be straight up. Evil Ernie has the "Thrasher/Classic Punk" look going on. All these years of being a Evil Ernie fan there has been two albums that always come to mind when I think of him. One of them, which is my choice for this contest is Darkness's "Death Squad":

I've always imagined Ernie as a kid going to the record store and as he sees this album he is just like "Hey, these dudes are cool." Just look at that cover. If that doesn't look like a shirt Evil Ernie would wear then I don't even know man. Yeah this album may be about death, destruction, and hating society- which pretty much explains Evil Ernie and that's the thing, This IS Evil Ernie, sure he was a loner outcast kid that was neglected and he eventually 'found' love but there really is no other way to explain his character. Even looking at his new anti-hero Punisher-like getting rid of the scum of society approach, he still fits this album. As a bonus, here is a song that is perfect for some ass kicking Evil Ernie badassness

I'd have to say Iced Earth, he's already got the look and he is obviously a fan of the classics, Iced Earth is often overlooked but they've been around 27 years now putting out a steady stream of metal awesomeness that appeals to both older and younger generations.

They are the perfect blend of both Punk and Metal, Just like Ernie. They are from Seattle and are one of the earliest cross over thrash Bands. Their Music is Splatter Rock which is a homage to horror movies and gore. Also Ernie Would Look cool donning their living dead mascot: Martha Splatter Head.

@G-Man: Evil Ernie wants to get 'close to you'! Karen Carpenter looks like a zombie (well towards the end she did) and it'd be kinda awesome seeing Ernie rocking to a heavy version of 'Rainy Days & Mondays'.

@G-Man Seems I'm inelligible to enter due to my living in Australia...BOOO!

i could totally see ernie wearing this shirt under his leather jacket as the power arcane burns and glows so intensly green while slaughtering and massacreing those who would dare oppose him... long live evil ernie!!!!!

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6MPuKXXa1k) This would be perfect for Evil since the skull and crossbones of the logo already resemble Smiley. You could also make an "Evil Ernie" skull and crossbone logo with Smiley replacing the "CC" in the center of the forehead. The lyrics are even better as making a homage to what the "Dead Mind" was like in the original Chaos! run.

The band to choose would be Overkill. The look of Evil Ernie was based on Overkill's lead singer Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth. Evil Ernie creator, Brian Pulido, was a big fan of theirs. Its a cool little detail that really only old school CHAOS! comics fans would get, but its a good way to give a nod to Evil Ernie's roots.
